Often it can indicate the state of your health.&nbsp; Basically, ear wax has three functions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It keeps your ear canal lubricated.<\/li><li>It prevents your ears from itching.<\/li><li>It prevents pollutants from entering your\ninner ear.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice earwax that is bloody, black, or has an\nunpleasant smell, it\u2019s important that you make an appointment right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call 504-738-4557 and schedule your FREE home hearing\ntest.&nbsp; Remember you are just a phone call\naway from the hearing you deserve. <\/p>\n<a
